“Omnikin Red!” You hear the shout before a massive ball flies overhead. You slide across the gym floor toward it and throw your leg under the ball. You can’t let it touch the floor. If it does, both of the other teams will get a point.
Some of you might already be playing this game in your gym classes. It’s called KIN-BALL. A Canadian physical education teacher invented the game in 1986—and it’s growing in popularity. “It’s a great team sport,” says Patrick Krech, a physical education teacher at the Butterfield School in Libertyville, Illinois. He’s been teaching the game to his students for 15 years.
